Okay, I understand what you are saying, Myrnice. I found the information I entered that I was afraid of losing; I hadn't filed it away in the family folders yet--yeah! I think I'm currently correct now with my database and I thank you for your help. Some days I can think my way through my problems and then other days, I panic!

I told you how to identify which individuals are on your laptop and not on
your desktop. I did not suggest that you copy the current laptop to the
desktop or vice versa. I suggested that you update one or the other to
include the individuals who are in the other database and then copy the
updated file to the other file.
